It appears
that new images have given more credence to earlier reports that the soon-to-be-released
iPhone 5 will come with a bigger screen display.
A blog
focused on Apple devices, 9to5Mac, reportedly discovered simulated screenshots
of an iPhone that shows an extra row of icons, bringing the total number of
rows to five rather than the typical four rows. This has added to the
authenticity of earlier reports on a bigger screen display for the next iPhone,
which is widely considered to be the iPhone 5.
Anonymous
sources have reportedly informed the blog that testing for a taller display
setting was already being implemented by Apple.
A number of developmental tools on the iOS 6 were used by the blog in
simulating a screen resolution of 640 by 1136. This resulted to five icon rows
instead of the typical four rows shown on the existing iOS.
The blog
indicated that the five icon rows will not be displayed correctly using the
simulator whenever a different resolution is used. The icons would be resized
to the size used on the iPad if a different resolution was used.
A number of
reports emerged last year that hinted of a four-inch screen display for the
upcoming iPhone 5. The bigger screen display would definitely be quite
appealing for potential users of the iPhone 5 even as a number of
Android-powered devices are already using bigger screen displays.
Numerous
reports and leaks have emerged recent months on the upcoming release of the
iPhone 5 even as the existence of the device was not yet officially confirmed
by Apple.
In addition
to the iPhone 5, Apple will reportedly release the iPad Mini in an event that
is scheduled to be held next month.
